And it's no, nay, never!
No nay never no more,
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more.

Music and lyrics to Irish traditional, drinking and folk songs. You don't want to be the only one not singing along the next time you visit the pub, now do ya?

In keeping with the holiday, I invite you to revisit my Ireland photos page.

"Former failed figure skater Tonya Harding combined minimal movement with perspicacious punching to score a third-round TKO over past political pawn Paula Jones Wednesday in a bout that signaled either a promising beginning for Fox Television's fledgling People You Never Wanted to See Again Doing Things You Never Wanted to See Them Do division or the end of civilization as we know it. Possibly both. "

I may be too much of a snob to watch it on television, but I'm not above reading what another snob thinks of it. ;)

XP speaks back. Imagine being at work and typing a doument for your boss while you're complaining to a co-worker about him/her. Hehe.

An elderly German woman dies of hypothermia after being mistakenly declared dead and put into cold storage. The doctor said he could tell by the color of her skin that she was dead. Whatever happened to checking for a pulse?

Best in Show Eaten by Second-Best

MUNTO, COMMENOR -- Horror turned to controversy at the Annual Mid-Rim Domesticated Sub-Sentient Show. When prize Sullustan wilwog Itipiniwi was awarded first prize, her owner became hysterical. Following her master's lead, Itipiniwi began to yip loudly, arousing the sensitive ears of the runner-up Boshuda, a Kashyyyk bolstyngar. To put an end to the noise, the bolystyngar snatched up the much smaller animal and swallowed it. Because the consumption of an opponent is not yet addressed by the pageant guidelines, Boshuda was named Best in Show due to forfeit. "I only feed him the best," commented Boshuda's owner.


Clever marketing tool for Episode II. And funny, too.

The devil may be able to find work for idle hands, but he's been ignoring my idle mind.

I went to the bank today to deposit my umpteenth unemployment check, and it was there that I realized, in a brief yet terrifying moment, how detached I have become from the civilized world. There was no line, so I proceeded directly to the teller window and began filling out my deposit slip. I was writing in the date, March 12,...March 12th,...March 12, what?? Oh my God, what year is it?? Is it 2001? Or 2002? I panicked, staring at the deposit slip, wondering what type of reaction I would be risking if I said to the teller, "Um, excuse me...I've been out of work for almost 5 months now and my brain has severely atrophied from lack of use and I'm finding it hard to remember even the most insignificant of details, and, well..could you tell me what year this is?" No, that wouldn't do. Barely a few seconds had passed, but someone was sure to notice the way I was staring slack-jawed at the deposit slip. I made a guess. Thankfully, it was the right one.

Have you ever had a song, one that you haven't heard in a very long time, stir up a long forgotten memory, one that you wish would have remained forgotten? Picture this: a tall, slightly chubby, immensely awkward 13-year-old girl doing a gymnastics floor mat routine as part of her Phys Ed final, which is choreographed (a term I use loosely) to the song "I Go Crazy", by Paul Davis. And people wonder why I would never want to repeat my teenage years.

"TV Barn has been furnished with David Letterman's remarks, made on the "Late Show" telecast taped this afternoon in New York."

In case you didn't catch Letterman (which I didn't), you can see what Dave had to say at TVBarn.

Huskies take two overtimes to win Big East tournament.

I pay only fleeting attention to college basketball most times, so when I read that headline this morning, I had assumed it was the women's Huskies who won the Big East title. The ladies are undefeated in both their conference and overall, so imagine my surprise when I found out that it was the 19th ranked men's team! Congratulations, boys!
